Tilt-Up was selected for this project because of the method’s ability to meet the owner’s schedule and budget while providing superior design. The contractor was able to demonstrate that Tilt-Up was the solution for this project, even though it had a small footprint, was multiple stories and required natural light and many clear spaces.

The pool complex with a exercise room above it created several challenges including loading and climate control. Corrosion and climate control issues were solved with insulated panels supporting a ceiling of double tees. The all concrete pool structure provides a tight corrosive resistant environment. Vibrant colors with out-of-plane panels and strategically placed windows create a unique look. Entrance canopies were built with curved panels and intricate supporting brackets. This facility capitalizes on the natural beauty of concrete since it is the only material used.
